| We have an annual salary, Which is 12 months, not 12 months plus 2 weeks. |

I have an annual salary too, and last year, due to quirks in the calendar, I had 27 pay periods instead of 26. When you get paid biweekly but have an annual salary, this is going to happen every so often. |

+1!!! I cannot get over how many teachers seem to be unable to grasp very simple math concepts!!! |

+2. I am hoping it’s just one troll. |

The people who keep bashing the teachers’ math skills are showing their own idiocy.
It is not a pay cut, but it is not a simple redistribution either. The teachers have one less week of paid work in 2019. It’s like if a restaurant closed one weekend, so none of the waiters got to the opportunity to make money that weekend. But at least management paid out a bit of money based on future earnings. It’s not a huge deal — again, it is not a permanent pay cut — but it is a small impact on upcoming pay. |

| Let me get this right: The school year starts one week later, so they start getting paid for the new school year one week later. |

+3 It's quite ridiculous. Teachers understand this. It's one person who wants people to believe that teachers can't do basic math. |

| As a fed, I have an annual salary as well, but two month out of the year we get paid 3 times; no biggie. |

Actually, they are going to pay them early so they don’t bitch about having a gap in checks. But apparently some of them are too stupid to grasp this and are now complaining that they can’t do math. |

It’s probably one person running for WTU office. |

It's not just about lack of math skills, it's really more about lack of critical thinking. |

Thank you. So seeing as the 19-20 calendar has one less work day, can a teacher please explain how they are getting paid less? |

I think DC has a few options
Change teacher pay to semi monthly. Stop giving summer pay and only give paychecks over 10 months. If this happens again, don’t pay during this gap week. If this happens again, divide summer pay up by the new amount of weeks instead of the old amount of weeks. Teachers who are against what is happening, what exactly do you want? More pay for the same amount of working days? One of the above options? I’m confused. |

They can’t explain it. But rest assured they will be here complaining how they are getting screwed when it swings to 196 teacher days again, or when summer is only 9 weeks instead of 10. |
